Chloris chloris

Sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis; Antigone canadensis) live in North America and Eastern Siberia. However, a few sandhill cranes stay in Izumi, Japan during winter due to straying. In 2019, 7 visitors came. Among them 4 were members of a family. They appeared to be quite relaxed. I wished their safe return to their home in the coming spring.

カナダヅルは迷鳥として渡来します。出水で出会ったカナダヅルのファミリーは環境がいいのか、とてもリラックスしていました。

Meus Caros, Quim, Tózé e Toneca! Ontem, este nosso amigo não quis aparecer, valeu o convívio e a bela almoçarada! Quanto a aves, pensemos na próxima saída! Abraços. Dear friends, Quim, Tózé and Tonéca! Yesterday our Bullfinch friend, did not show up, but we had a fantastic lunch, and now, let us think about the next adventure!

It's all about the bokeh.

This guy is drying his wings so he go catch more food at Lafreniere park, Metairie, Louisiana. They don't have the oil on their feathers to keep them water resistant because they are diving birds that swim under water to catch food.

Captivity.
